Knights Landing man robbed near Woodland's Freeman Park

A Knights Landing man was assaulted in Woodland's Freeman Park early Wednesday morning, according to police.? A report was released on the incident Friday morning by Woodland Police Sgt. Steve Sexton. The Knights Landing resident, Elivorio Cano, 46, was treated for non-life threatening head injuries at Woodland Memorial Hospital.

According to Sexton, Cano told police he was walking near Freeman Park, located at 1001 Main St., in downtown Woodland, when three white males attacked him.

One of the suspects hit Cano in the head with an unknown object, possibly a bottle of some type.

Cano was knocked down and lost his wallet, Sexton reported. After the suspects fled Cano recovered his wallet but found his money had been taken from it.

Sexton also reported there was an earlier attempted robbery in the same area. That attempt occurred on Sunday, Nov. 18, several blocks southwest, near Third Street north of Lincoln Avenue. In that robbery, one of the victims was also hit in the head with an unknown object by a white male adult.

There was no information on whether anything was taken, or how badly anyone was hurt in the Nov. 18 robbery.

Anyone with information about either of these incidents is encouraged to call the Woodland Police Department at 661-7800.
